费城冰壶俱乐部主席解释这项运动及本地奥运选手

随着2026年米兰科尔蒂纳冬奥会展开,费城冰壶俱乐部主席科迪·克劳瑟分享了该运动的历史、战术以及一名为美国队参赛的本地明星的见解。布鲁莫尔本地人泰勒·安德森-海德将她的全国锦标赛资历带到国际舞台。克劳瑟作为终生冰壶运动员,强调俱乐部在培养像她这样的天才方面的作用。

宾夕法尼亚州保利的费城冰壶俱乐部自1957年在维拉诺瓦大学冰场成立以来,一直是这项运动的基石。1961年一场暴风雪导致冰场屋顶坍塌,但奉献的成员从废墟中救出了幸存的冰壶石。到1963年,俱乐部获得了土地,在65 Plank Avenue建造了现在的设施,目前继续运营两个冰面。29岁的主席科迪·克劳瑟来自伯温,从3岁起就在一个深浸这项运动的家庭中开始玩冰壶。他的祖父母是俱乐部的早期成员,父亲也在那里长大。克劳瑟参加过四次全国锦标赛,并在2016年大学全国锦标赛中赢得金牌。他指出奥运转播提升了冰壶的知名度:“这是观看最多的冬奥项目”,因为男子、女子和混双赛事的漫长比赛提供了丰富内容。本地奥运选手泰勒·安德森-海德,30岁,将俱乐部归功于她的成长。五次美国全国冠军,她的荣誉包括2019年和2021年女子冰壶金牌(与双胞胎姐姐莎拉一起)、2015年和2018年混双冠军(与科里·德罗普金)、以及2025年作为领投为队长塔比莎·彼得森的胜利。她在2025年美国奥运选拔赛中获金牌,并在2016年世青赛中获银牌。克劳瑟称赞她为“非常非常强的扫冰手”。克劳瑟揭开冰壶术语和技术的神秘面纱。“Hack”是投掷38至44磅壶石的起投点,沿卵石状冰面滑行,减少摩擦以实现更顺畅的滑动。扫冰手喊“重”或“轻”来调整速度,付出极大努力:“要注意的是,人们几乎将全部体重压在扫帚上。”球队包括投手、扫冰手和指挥投壶的队长,专用鞋——一只带有特氟龙滑底——帮助保持平衡。壶石仅来自苏格兰艾尔萨·克雷格花岗岩,由Kays of Scotland制造,每只约2000美元,外层耐损,内层防潮。俱乐部共用壶石,认为体能日益重要,从过去的休闲玩法演变为高要求的竞技运动。克劳瑟鼓励新人:“如果你有机会尝试,然后观看,我认为这会增强体验。”俱乐部计划举办安德森-海德的观看派对,尽管存在时区挑战。
